I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?

NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.

My little one has a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough. She's just 5 months old. I'm thinking of giving her mucolite and maxtra, both at the same time, but I'm not sure if that's okay. The dosage I've got is 0.6 ml. Is that alright for her age?

Yes you can give it no problem.

I'm really worried because my baby, who's just 1 month and 18 days old, accidentally got a little cut on the finger while I was trimming nails. What should I do to help the wound heal? Do you think a TT injection is necessary?

no need consult to pediatrician
